Strong Bob Imperial Rye Ale -3.75
Rye character stands out; extra strength not overpowering
Judgement Day Double IPA -4.25

FOOD:
Full menu featuring starters, pizzas, sandwiches and salads. Kids menu available as well as a special Sunday football menu. Weekday lunch specials from 11am-3pm.
They serve a good house burger with a half pound angus beef patty on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato and red onion, and your choice of cheese. It’s nice that you have a choice of either fries or a half house salad for a side.
The Tuesday special was the Buffalo Chicken Salad. They were happy to substitute grilled chicken instead of deep fried, but the amount of buffalo sauce was a bit overpowering, combined with pickled jalapenos, cheddar and bleu cheese, bacon, avocado and ranch dressing. The combination resulted in a very rich, salty and spicy dish.
